5/5 (5)

Get the most realistic look into the period and incidents of the World War II Normandy landings at France’s Airborne Museum. Located in the centre of Sainte-Mère-Église, right across from the bell tower where parachutist John Steele was famously suspended, this historically accurate museum depicts everything related to the D-Day operation that began on June 6, 1944, from the invasion preparations to the battles for liberation.

At the Airborne Museum, learn all there is to know about the transformative D-Day operation through the testimonies and personal recollections donated by American veterans. The museum also holds over 10,000 items and memorabilia including a real Waco CG-4 glider, C-47 planes, and more so you can get face-to-face with history.

The Airborne Museum was inaugurated in 1964, 20 years after the fateful events of the Normandy landings. It is the largest European museum dedicated to commemorating the American paratroopers of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions of the United States Army who landed in Normandy on D-Day.
